All theme music and clips has to be compressed i.e. zipped otherwise the
server will not permit its upload. Sorry about this but it is completely
outwith our control (it has the advantage though, that as it is compressed - it
will be smaller in size). To download any theme, right click on the link to it
and select save as. Choose its destination and then download. Any good unzipper
program will then be able to extract the theme music into its original file
format.

If you have any memories, comments (good or bad), additions or
suggestions then you can either sign our guest book, ask a question on our
message board or alternatively, email us. If you'd like to be kept up to date
with our latest additions, send us your email address and we'll keep you
posted. We would also love to hear from anyone involved in the production in
any of our featured sites.

Note about Copyright

Please note the following: We know absolutely nothing about
copyright laws except that all rights and licensing are owned by their
respective creators. We do not make any money or any gain from writing or
displaying these pages. The Big Knights Site and all of the other pages that we
write are strictly for our own and other people's enjoyment. Most of the
material presented here (with the exception of the Big Knights) is from
children's programs 15-35 years ago. These were the days when presenters and
program makers did their jobs for the love of the creation of the program. This
is reflected in the superb quality of their programs, the patience and
attention to every detail no matter how small. Today's children do not have
access to and in most cases never will have access to these vintage television
classics. Hence we are writing these sites from old memories, old/new videos,
books and whatever else we can lay our hands on. If anyone has any problems
with this or indeed if anyone objects via copyright laws, please email us and
we will sadly and reluctantly remove the offending item(s). It will be a shame
if this happens, as like most classic children's programs they will move "into
the past and into memory", we will never see their like again.
